I think it's broke, mon.  I think the utility of this directive might  
a little suspect to begin with (if you have a package that needs  
startup initialization, you could just put it in the Products  
namespace), but the only other thing I can think to try is to take  
all the exception handling out of this the  
fiveconfigure._registerPackage function and track down why it's  
barfing to start with.

Sorry Rob. :-(
